Ennio Morlotti

Ennio Morlotti (21 September 1910 - 15 December 1992) was an Italian painter of the Corrente de Vita movement started in Milan as a counterpoint to nationalistic Futurism and the Novecento Italiano movements. His figures show an affinity to the geometry of Cezanne and Matisse, but later works depict thickets of abstraction.
